Zone overpopulation

Not true, upping the ZEM is no guarantee that people will spread out. The Hole is a perfect example. HS as well. Amazing XP modifier in the hole, very scarcely populated.

I am sure there are contributing factors at play there. Risk vs reward. How much of a pain is it for non casters to get there and back.
I have never hunted there so I couldn't say. My highest level toon on P99 is 15th and on live i had/have a 30 something druid who rarely went dungeon delving.
I am venturing now where I feared to tread then. It's been fun but the fun is wearing thin becouse everywhere I go the place is wall to wall groups and hunted till the places are empty.

This isnt fair. People do not go to The Hole/HS because it is super out of the way and a corpse recovery is extremely time consuming.

Maybe players should nut up and try out different zones? I've noticing the Hole and Chardok are getting more exp groups, but they could both support way more. Great alternative to KC/Seb

Yeah hole could have 30+ players in zone and still have spots open for xp. And yeah the Hole has some difficulties but if you got a rogue and a cleric you are pretty much set. I love that zone so much haha.

SolA was another place that is dope xp and cash but always dead in less you brought a group.

That's the whole point of this post is people should spread out and to help that, up the xp in low pop zones. That's it.

I’m with you man. I wish there was more of a variety in the leveling path especially at the lower levels. But it doesn’t seem like xp is necessarily the prime factor. A lot of the places with dope xp get ignored for easier traditional zones. I’d love to have more experiences in zones I’ve never really gotten to explore just because of the whole golden road mentality.

Just get rid of XP modifiers.. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Isn’t the ability to kill faster in an unpopular zone a kind of exp modifier in itself? I think this problem fixes itself. Go to a different, unpopular zone and you’ll have more opportunities for kills and exp.

I'm just bewildered why there is so much push back on uping xp in a few zones.
